A quotation from Nicolas Chamfort
Weak men are the light troops in the army of the wicked. They do more harm than the main force; they overrun and and ravage the country.

Products of Perfected Civilization [Produits de la Civilisation Perfectionée], Part 1 “Maxims and Thoughts [Maximes et Pensées],” ch. 2, ¶ 133 (1795) [tr. Mathers (1926)]Sourcing, notes, alternate translations: wist.info/chamfort-nicolas/753…

“So lost indeed was I in this jungle of delusion that I was quite surprised when one beautiful sunset in May, sitting at ease under the shadow of the Lion de Belfort, I became aware of a temptation of the devil. Quite a number of people had been asking me during the last few months to compromise with respectability. And by Jove! I nearly did! I was ill — forgive the wavering! I am wise in time, luckily, and my ‘Retro Satanas’ takes this form.”
